FreeNAS successfully restarted many many times until i installed SyncThing, Dropbox, and maybe even a third plugin. During the installation of one of the plugins, FreeNAS crashed and rebooted and crashes again upon bootup immediately after the text console menu is displayed. There is no time to choose anything from the FreeNAS menu and certainly no time to do something in a web browser before it crashes and reboots again. So I think this should be simple, I will boot into safe mode and disable the plugins. This is a fresh installation, so there is no previous kernel.
What do i mean by "Safe Mode?" Firefox can be started without any plugins, otherwise known as "Safe Mode." Windows can be booted into "Safe Mode". How does one boot FreeNAS normally, but with plugins disabled or uninstalled?
Fresh install of FreeNAS 11.3.u3.2 which ran well and rebooted several times without crashing. Immediately after installing syncthing and dropbox(?) plugins, the machine restarted on its own and restarts again immediately after bootup.
References to safe mode on the forum and website refers to articles from several years ago.

I have dabbled with:
- Trying various boot menu options such as single user mode and
- "Initial Install".
- sqlite3 /data/freenas11-3.db and select * from plugins_plugins; along with other tables, but nothing is returned for actual plugins.
- Booting from the installation media, hoping to find the LiveCD option.
